No one knows what exactly happened in the private room; those present seemed to have sealed their lips, unwilling to reveal a single detail.
All that is known is that the next day, several well-known girls at school had cut their hair into bobs. Even the school beauty, Jiang Yihan, was no exception, as her long hair that reached her waist vanished overnight.
Afterward, when they encountered Zhou Jiajia, they all lowered their heads and took a detour, fearing any further entanglement with her.
Thus, Jiang Yihan and Zhou Jiajia had formed a grudge.
...
Unexpectedly, they met here.
"Miss Jiang, you're here."
Jiang Yihan seemed to be a regular at this establishment, as the staff greeted her warmly and familiarly.
However, she waved her hand dismissively, rejecting the staff's hospitality. She walked straight toward Zhou Jiajia, her eyes filled with an inexplicable provocation.
After years apart, her demeanor had transformed from innocent and pure to alluring and captivating. Her makeup was flawless—exquisite and glamorous—while a tight black dress accentuated her graceful figure.
Tsk tsk, perfect, if only she could keep her mouth shut.
"Oh, isn't this Zhou Jiajia?" Her voice had a naturally doll-like quality; when speaking normally, it sounded cute and charming. Yet she deliberately raised her tone to feign sweetness, which only made it sound jarring.
Zhou Jiajia was so disgusted that she didn't even want to give her a glance, completely ignoring her as she stood at the front desk entering her password to pay.
However, Jiang Yihan was unconcerned and ignored her completely, her gaze shifting to the clothes the store clerk was wrapping.
"Bring that piece of clothing over for me to take a look."
The clerk hesitated and sincerely explained, "Miss Jiang, I'm sorry, but there is only one of this item, and it has already been purchased by this young lady."
"How about this: we just received many new arrivals in the store today. Take a look, and if you find something you like, I can give you a 20% discount as an apology. How does that sound?"
The clerk was very patient and polite, but Jiang Yihan was completely unappreciative and retorted aggressively, "Do you think I need that little money?"
"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant..."
The clerk was about to explain when Jiang Yihan interrupted her, making unreasonable demands, "Enough, I want that one. Bring it to me."
"This..."
Zhou Jiajia didn't want to ruin her good mood and had no intention of getting entangled with her. However, unable to bear Jiang Yihan's unreasonable behavior any longer, she finally spoke up, "Jiang Yihan, after all these years, when are you going to change that bad habit of always coveting other people's things?"
"I can do as I please; it's none of your business," Jiang Yihan shot back.
Zhou Jiajia refused to back down. "Oh, right. That habit isn't something you can just change at will; after all, it's hereditary for you."
"What do you mean by that!" Jiang Yihan was indeed provoked and became agitated, her eyes wide open as the flawless makeup suddenly showed a crack.
"Don't you know what I mean?" Zhou Jiajia replied with a smile, wearing an expression that suggested she was enjoying the show.
Who doesn't know that Jiang Yihan's mother, Fan Minyi, is a mistress who has been the behind-the-scenes lover of Big Shot Jiang Youcheng for many years? With her charm and allure, she has finally managed to elevate herself to the position of matriarch of the Jiang Family, pushing aside the original matriarch, Xiao Xianqin, to take control.
As the tide rises, Jiang Yihan has also transformed; she is no longer the timid girl seeking support but is now referred to as Miss Jiang.
How impressive.
"I can't be bothered to play guessing games with you," Jiang Yihan said, feeling guilty. She wanted to regain her dignity through other means, so she turned to the shop assistant and said, "How much did she spend on this dress? I'll pay double."
Zhou Jiajia scoffed, "Hah, you might as well write a check for a million. That way, I might consider when I get tired of it and can give it to you."
"Anyway, you wouldn't mind. Just like back then, you wore those worn-out shoes with pride."
"You..." Jiang Yihan knew she was alluding to Zhang Feng and felt a surge of anger but couldn't find the words to retort.
The two glared at each other, neither willing to back down. The atmosphere was tense, as if they were about to clash at any moment.
The shop assistants were anxious and uncomfortable, fearing that the two esteemed guests would start fighting. It would be difficult for them to explain, and they didn't want to witness such a scene. In their dilemma, they could only seek help from Zhou Jiajia's friend, Shu Ran.
Shu Ran caught their pleading looks and smiled helplessly. Based on her understanding of Zhou Jiajia, she knew that Jiajia was not someone to provoke. Once angered, she would not rest until she taught the other person a lesson. Still, she attempted to mediate: "Jia Jia, let's go. Don't stoop to her level."
"No, I have to make her understand how to behave today. How dare she throw money around without considering her own status?"
While Jiang Yihan had the powerful backing of the Jiang Family, Zhou Jiajia was no pushover either; her father was the mayor and her grandfather held a general's title—she was truly a daughter of high-ranking officials.
One in politics and one in business.
Political and Business have always been different pursuits, but they must never become enemies.
In reality, no one benefits from a confrontation; regardless of victory or defeat, both sides suffer.
The situation was currently at a stalemate when Jiang Yihan's phone rang. She raised her chin, wearing an expression that suggested she was above it all, and leisurely took her phone out of her bag. Upon seeing the caller ID on the screen, her expression suddenly transformed into one of innocent delight, the speed of which was astonishing, almost like a magic trick.
She spoke in a sweet, almost silly voice, playfully saying, "Hmm~ Brother~ I'm on the second floor of the mall~ Someone is bullying me~"
"They're being so unfair~ I really want to cry~ Even the sales assistant won't help me~ Okay~ Remember this place~ I'll wait for you to come~"
Zhou Jiajia and a group of bystanders nearly choked on their dinner while listening; it was just too...
Indescribably... disgusting...
After hanging up, she instantly changed her demeanor again and confidently said to Zhou Jiajia, "My brother is coming."
"It wouldn't matter if your uncle and aunt came," Zhou Jiajia teased. "Let alone your brother."
Unaware of her own foolishness.
She coldly laughed and turned her gaze, but suddenly paused halfway.
Having been too focused on bantering with Zhou Jiajia, she hadn't noticed the person beside her. She raised an eyebrow; wasn't that Shu Ran?
Even someone as tall and proud as Jiang Yihan had to admit that Shu Ran was the only girl who could rival her looks at He was still in School.
One was highly praised as the school beauty, while the other remained low-key and unknown.
Jiang Yihan coldly smiled and stared at her, but Zhou Jiajia was not pleased. Like a hen protecting its chick, she stood in front of Shu Ran and said, "What are you doing? Can't stand to see someone else looking good because you're ugly?"
Jiang Yihan was also not one to back down. Unable to tolerate anyone denying her looks, she retorted, "Who are you calling ugly?"
"I'm calling you ugly."
"You're the ugly one, you bitch."
"Bitch? Who are you calling a bitch?"
"I'm calling you a bitch."
Zhou Jiajia laughed heartily, "Yeah, there's a bitch cursing at me."
"You..."
A new round of arguments sparked by Shu Ran began.
